HC Deb 22 February 1906 vol 152 c519
SIR JAMES WOODHOUSE (Huddersfield)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, if he will consider the desirability of appointing a Committee to inquire into the practicability of adopting some improved method of taking divisions so as to obviate the delay and inconvenience arising from the crowded state of the lobbies.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I agree with my hon. friend that the present mode of taking divisions is cumbrous, tedious and inconvenient; but no one has yet devised a better. It is a subject which may well be considered and it will be kept in view in any general review of the procedure of the House.
